About Thessaloniki One of the more interesting cities to visit in Greece, Thessaloniki combines successfully the bustling city offerings of the second largest city in Greece, 1.5 million people, with a more cultural, artistic, gourmet and historic character. A metropolitan hub and a collection of peculiar corners you will enjoy discovering. Wonderfully easy to see on foot - most things you would like to visit you can walk to. Thessaloniki is one of the oldest cities in Europe. However, its history is experienced in a more subtle way than, for example, the obvious visiting of the Acropolis in Athens. There are a great number of dispersed in the city. One of the things that give Thessaloniki a distinct character is its long and wide waterfront stretching from the harbor to the White Tower ("Palia Paralia" - old beach), all the way to the east part of the city and beyond, it is the delight of locals, as well as visitors, who can be seen strolling at any time of day (or night), in any weather conditions. The coastal road is opportunely strewn with cafes, some of great style and fame, that provide just the right atmosphere to pause your walk, enjoy perhaps a beautiful sunset (the sun sets over the sea, affording many such opportunities) while sipping your Moccacino or Greek coffee. The Makedonia Palace Hotel The Makedonia Palace is the address for the discerning traveler. Considered a local landmark, this legendary hotel rises at the edge of Thessaloniki’s sweeping bay and is within walking distance from the ground of the Thessaloniki International Fair as well as the city’s business and shopping districts. Inspired by the sparkle of the Ancient Greek Kingdom of Macedonia, the Makedonia Palace revives hospitality in a grand fashion. Whether you’re in town for business or pleasure, spacious lounges, gourmet restaurants, a rooftop cocktail bar and tastefully appointed function rooms enfold you in luxury. Mosaic inlaid with designs inspired by the Macedonian dynasty, create a glittering ambience, while the constant swirl of guests adds to the hotel’s cosmopolitan flair. The hotel is just 15km from the Makedonia International Airport, offering the benefit of a short and easy transfer. Hotel Officially Opened 1972, and renovated in 2003.
